[ubuntu-uk] Convergence video

[Alan Pope]

Hi all,

I thought some might find this video interesting. It was made by the
Ubuntu Desktop Engineering Manager Will Cooke, to demo some of the
current convergence ideas we're working on. It might make some things
make sense that we've been talking about for a few years now. Hope so.

For those that can't or won't watch it the video, what's shown is
Ubuntu Touch based on Unity 8 and Mir on an x86 based tablet. Will
demonstrated a few standard things like browsing and video playback,
then switched to 'desktop' mode by attaching a bluetooth mouse. At
that point the user interface adapts with applications splitting off
into windowed mode assuming you want to work with it as a laptop. When
the mouse is detached or switched off it reverts back to touch mode.

It's quite a nice demo as it finally shows off an early version of
what we're aiming for.

Cheers,
Al.
